In the thinking cabin, Felix passed a cup of tea.

"It's getting more and more real here," Dumbledore said curiously, and he took a sip of the amber liquid. "What kind of tea is this, I don't seem to have drunk it."

"Ordinary tea, you and I have different tastes." Felix said. He was sitting across from Dumbledore. At this time, there were only two of them here.

"How much time do we have?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.

"Two and a half minutes," Felix rubbed his head, "If you have to insist, you can take 5 points at most."

"That's at least a quarter of an hour." Dumbledore slightly nodded , Said.

Felix glared at him and rolled his eyes. He raised his legs and said slowly: "Two things, one is to appease the four schools, and the other is to trace the secret mastermind."

Dumbledore's slender fingers crossed in front of him, "Do you have any insights?"

"The first thing is very easy to solve, mainly depends on your opinion."

"My opinion?" Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Goblet of Fire's contract cannot be violated. This one can crush them, but this will cause a problem. Hogwarts' reputation plummets and embarrassing to be thrown abroad—"

"This is also a scene I don't want to see." Dumbledore said decisively, "We need to make a certain compromise."

"There are two ways, one is to strengthen the opponent, and the other is to weaken the self. The former Not advisable, after all, every school has different demands." Felix said calmly.

"Then you can only choose the latter. Let's talk about the second thing. This is the key point." Dumbledore said, "Who do you think their goal is?"

"It's only Harry, this kind of probability is the greatest." Felix suddenly thought of something: "Sirius mentioned to me during the World Cup, Harry's scar..."

"I know this Sirius also wrote me a letter.” Dumbledore brought this topic, he said solemnly: “Going back to Goblet of Fire, I once doubted Harry used any means to bypass the restrictions of Goblet of Fire, but when When Miss Granger appeared, I knew it was impossible."

"Is it possible to bypass the restriction? I always thought it was the powerful Confundus Charm coming..."

Dumbledore laughed: "It is people who make the rules of Goblet of Fire. If it is a person, there will be loopholes. To be honest, I am a little disappointed with people in the dark. The methods are too obvious."

Felix nodded, this is true. Yes, if you can find loopholes in the rules, it may be even more confusing. But now, everyone knows that Goblet of Fire has been artificially disturbed.

The difference is that the other four schools thought it was Hogwarts' tricks, even if they were not, they took advantage.

"So, is it Voldemort?"

"So, Voldemort." Dumbledore said softly, "But as far as I know him, he is impossible."

"He must have a helper, the one who attacked Harry with Pettigrew Peter, and maybe more." Felix followed the headmaster's line of thought and said: "He once ruled a small part of Britain. This shouldn't be a difficult task."

Speaking of this, his mind turned around. The time he left for Lucius Malfoy is before Christmas, but now the situation has changed, and he is impossible to continue to wait. In addition, according to Swift Patronus’s feedback, the mysterious antique seller seems to be inextricably linked to Malfoy manor. The connection...

"No, Felix, you don’t know him. Voldemort regards power as the cornerstone of his rule. If he loses his power, he loses the restraint of his opponent." Dumbledore sighed, "I During the summer vacation, I visited his companions and staff in the orphanage one by one. The more I understand, the clearer he is about his nature."

Felix thought for a while: "So he has been hiding in Albanian all these years. Forest, is also related to this? He didn't trust anyone after losing his power. No, it should be said that the batch he trusted was locked in Azkaban...until Pettigrew Peter found him!"

" You have the point." Dumbledore agreed with him.

Felix frowned, "Can you be sure who moved the hands and feet? In theory, the four headmasters and the professors they brought have opportunities, even the professors in Hogwarts..."

This range is too big.

"Igor Karkaroff used to be Death Eater." Dumbledore said calmly, "This is why I stopped Alastor."

"Will it be him?" Felix didn't believe it. , Karkaroff's reaction was too real. Even if he wanted to clear his suspicion, he didn't have to work so hard. The emotions of the other three schools were inspired by him.

On the contrary, it was Moody...The past scenes flashed quickly, some suspicious points seemed right but actually isn't, he couldn't produce any evidence.

"Karkaroff's probability is not great. He betrayed his former master and gave out a list of Death Eaters after the war." Dumbledore said, "I personally think that Voldemort will not find him."

"Where is Imperius Curse? Polyjuice Potion?" Felix said tentatively. It was not this person he wanted to talk about, but it depends on Dumbledore's attitude.

"You still don’t understand what I mean, Felix. If it were Voldemort, he would not show the weak side to the former traitor. He would be more willing to promote his name after the resurrection, so that the traitor Live in fear day and night, until silently dying in a dark corner."

Felix clicked nodded, is this the pride of the Dark Lord? He whispered: "As far as I know, Professor Moody claimed to have been attacked before joining the job..."

Dumbledore looked over sharply.

"...I also noticed that he carried a hipflask with him, but I never saw him open it once. I was a little worried. Wouldn't he be thirsty?"

Dumbledore stared at him. After ten seconds, he calmly said: "This is just your guess. Alastor's nerves are more sensitive, and he never touches any suspicious food. This is a recognized thing. Me and him I have known each other for more than half a century, longer than Voldemort. I know him well enough, but I didn’t find anything suspicious in him."

"We can’t tell someone just because of guessing. Do it."

"It's that you don't act on people because of guesswork." Felix emphasized deliberately.

Dumbledore fell silent.

"Dumbledore," Felix said, "We shouldn't let potential threats stay with us," his tone was low, "At least try it out."

A moment of silence After——

"What are you going to do?"

"Imperius Curse, Polyjuice Potion, memory modification, are three ways I can think of, but the Third Type method is not subdued In the case of Professor Moody, it is temporarily impossible to verify." Felix said, and he also took other people with him to make himself look less directed at Moody: "Of course, it also applies to other people."

"The premise is , They are not willing to be Voldemort's lackeys." Dumbledore added.

"Yes, if I am willing, my means are very limited. The dark wizard who dares to do things in front of you will definitely be guarded against Legilimens," Felix also felt tricky, "Is it still Let me check his memory a little bit. What's the difference between stripping someone out?"

If I make a mistake, I will create a mortal enemy for myself.

Why does the wizard value its own memory? Because their fears are justified, the wizard really has the means to modify, forge and erase other people's memories.

"I will do this, Felix, I said go with Alastor." Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "Imperius Curse, Polyjuice Potion, I will verify both of these methods, but to explore the memory, I Disagree, that is the biggest humiliation to Alastor."

"But..."

"Until there is no more obvious evidence, I disagree with any aggressive behavior." He Undoubtedly said, "Apart from this, if he has no problem, I intend to let him pay attention to suspicious people around..."

Felix shrugged, "I am waiting for your answer." He hit With a snap of your fingers, the magic is scattered, and the two return to reality.

In the room, Madam Maxime is staring at herself. She looks panting with rage, her chest in black satin undulates violently, as if she will give him a fist in the next second, but she may think of him There was also the identity of a school manager, which barely held back.

She was silent and did not speak. Karkaroff finally came back from Moody's shadow and said impatiently: "What is the problem? How to solve it? You stare at each other for half of the time. Minutes, don’t speak, don’t think you can fool around like this. If there is no good way, then let go of Durmstrang’s shackles and allow them to use any means—"

"Karkaroff headmaster," Felix looked at He said, "Your student's restrictions are not as big as imagined—"

"What did you say?" Karkaroff stared.

"I have a question, is Durmstrang a school that cultivates dark wizards?"

"This is slander! Mr. Crouch, did you hear that?"

"Listen to me," Felix stared at him, "Durmstrang is the most open-minded in dealing with dark magic. This sentence is true. But it does not mean that Durmstrang is a'specialist' professor of dark magic. In the school, dark magic only occupies a very small part of the teaching content. At least I can’t see much dark magic in your textbooks..."

"Dark magic is the most widely used in the field of duels. , But don’t you teach Disarming Charm? Stunning Spell? Shield Charm?"

Felix slowly said: "Dark magic is just an effective supplement, but it will never become a The mainstream of open enrollment magic schools, even if you like dark magic, you should keep this in mind!"

Karkaroff was too speechless.

If he admits that Durmstrang uses dark magic as the main teaching content, then the reputation of this school tomorrow will be completely stinky. As the headmaster, he must stand up for himself and the school.

Karkaroff blushed and said: "Dark magic is only part of Durmstrang. We have the ability to solve its side effects. There are special professors in the school who will evaluate students’ learning progress and selectively teach them to dark magic. magic."

That’s how it is said, but in private, many professors turn a blind eye and will not be overly pursued. This is also the reason why Durmstrang is famous for advocating dark magic.

The reason why Durmstrang has not become a dark wizard concentration camp is indeed related to the school’s system. They did comply with certain audit standards. The advantage of this approach is that even if students practice dark magic in private, they don't dare to use it publicly, and the number of exercises is small, and the impact on temperament is not serious.

"How to solve the extra set of champions from Hogwarts?" Karkaroff changed the subject abruptly.

"It's very simple, since you all see it as an advantage of Hogwarts, then turn it into a disadvantage." Felix glanced lightly at the champion and headmaster present, and they didn't care. Whether there is a dark wizard secretly coveting Harry, or Durmstrang's teaching problems, they just want to know how to reasonably weaken one side before the game.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, Mr. Crouch, Mr. Bagman, I suggest that Hogwarts scores are calculated on average."
